News Center- Narges Mansouri, Iranian labor rights activist and political prisoner held in Evin prison, started a hunger strike on December 25, 2023 to protest an Iranian court’s decision to issue an order to sell her mother’s property. She was transferred to hospital twice due to her deteriorating health. Her lawyer Mohammad Moghimi announced on his social media account on Sunday that the activist was transferred to hospital again due to gastrointestinal bleeding.

“Activist Narges Mansouri, who is on a hunger strike to protest the court’s decision to confiscate her mother's house, suffered gastrointestinal bleeding and was transferred from Evin prison to the hospital (Pars),” read his post.

Narges Mansouri, member of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company Workers' Union and one of 14 activists who signed the “Statement of 14” calling for the resignation of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was arrested amid a wave of arrests of labor and political activists in Iran in May 2022.

Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran sentenced her to five years in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion against national security” and one year on charges of “propaganda against the regime.”
